Sounds of Bees

Bees in active hive.

The NYS Beekeeper Tech Team has just released their 2016 pesticide residue report. 60 beekeepers participated in the project. Across the state, 198 colonies were sampled and analyzed for 41 different pesticides.

The Dyce Lab for Honey Bee Studies at Cornell is working to assess honey bee health across New York State. We can improve bee health, but we need your help! We’re looking for beekeepers across NYS to participate in the 2017 New York State Varroa Survey.

The NYS Beekeeper Tech Team is an interdisciplinary group that works directly with beekeepers to improve honey bee health, reduce colony losses, and increase profitability of the beekeeping industry. In 2016, the NYS Beekeeper Tech Team worked with 30 beekeepers throughout northern, central, and western New York. These results are now available.
